“Father,Your Mind created all that is,Your Spirit entered into it;Your
Love gave life to it. And would I look upon what You created as if it
could be made sinful? I would not perceive such dark and fearful
images. A madman’s dream is hardly fit to be my choice, instead of all
the loveliness with which You blessed creation; all its purity, its joy,
and its eternal, quiet home in You.”

And while we still remain outside the gate of Heaven, let us look on all
we see through holy vision and the eyes of Christ. Let all appearances
seem pure to us, that we may pass them by in innocence, and walk
together to our Father’s house as brothers and the holy Sons of God.
